William S. Bush, PhD is a geneticist and bioinformatician whose research interests include developing approaches for integrating functional genomics knowledge—the vast wealth of data generated by genomic projects—into genetic analysis, as well as the use of electronic medical records for translational research. He has conducted numerous analyses across various neurological phenotype domains in collaboration with national consortia. He also has developed a methodology for conducting pathway-based analyses, and implemented computational pipelines for high-throughput data analysis with specific emphasis on complex models of disease association. He is a founding member and co-chair of the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) Annotation Working Group and developed an annotation resource used across all ADSP projects. He also has experience in pharmacogenomics, the study of the role of the genome in drug response, and translational bioinformatics.
I study bioinformatic and genomic analysis of complex diseases, such as late onset Alzheimer's Disease.

Research Interests
Dr. Bush’s research interests include understanding the functional impact of genetic variation, developing statistical and bioinformatics approaches for integrating functional genomics knowledge into genetic analysis, and the use of electronic medical records for translational research.
Among his contributions to science:
- Bioinformatics and statistical methods development for genetic analysis, focused on development and application of approaches for detecting complex genetic effects within genomic datasets
- Knowledge-guided analysis of genomic data, applying statistical tests based on structured biological hypotheses from online databases
- Genetic epidemiology of neurocognitive phenotypes, focused on Alzheimer’s Disease and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, exploring the interplay between nuclear and mitochondrial genetic factors
